Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Niterói is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Santos Dumont Airport (SDU), 7 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,341 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Rio de Janeiro Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport (GIG, 17 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Santos Dumont Airport | SDU | 7 km (4 mi) | 4,341 ft | 11 ft |
| Rio de Janeiro Galeão – Tom Jobim International Airport | GIG | 17 km (11 mi) | 13,123 ft | 28 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 4,341 ft, SDU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 11 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
